Company...



Do not be misled...
bad company does corrupt good character (1 Corinthians 15:33).

Always be mindful of who you surround yourself with and the company you keep. They will either build you up or pull you down.

Control

Image
Fact: the devil is a liar! Trying to take matters into our own hands does not bring us closer to being like God. That's not our role, or His expectation of us. Every time we try to control our circumstances, our future, and people around us, we are trying to take on a role that wasn't meant for us. We stress ourselves out (unnecessarily) and become overwhelmed with frustration. We stepped into a role that wasn't ours. We told God to take a back seat and tried it! We are not meant to control things outside of our circle of influence, we can only control how we respond, how we deal with them. We are meant to only control ourselves. All these situations are intentional and meant to shape us, help us grow, strengthen us and our character.

"The root of anger is the perception that something has been taken. Something is owed to you. And now a debt-to-debtor relationship has been established." We should really stop to think about this: "How long are you going to allow the people who have hurt you to control your life?"

Why would we want to give that kind of authority over to anyone who has abused, mistreated, manipulated or harmed us?  This is written in God's word repeatedly for a reason: "forgive them seventy times seventy. And remember them or the harm they've done no more."  Forgive, clean out the clutter and press forward. It's not for them, it's for you.

I decided to wear my hair the way it grows…(Hair Texture)

What's my hair type? This can be a challenging decision for a woman to make in their life. Anyone with natural hair will tell you, the initial process is a true journey which only the strong survive. In this period, we are learning to love ourselves, take extra special care of ourselves and breathe life back into ourselves. In this period, we are learning to identify with ourselves and embrace who we are. Of course there are many reasons one can choose the natural state. Less money and hours spent at the hair salon, not being able to get a good workout in for fear of sweating, breakage, over use of chemicals on the scalp. Whatever, the decision, I am sure it is one that you thought long and hard over because the process from perm to free is again not an easy journey. For those who have made the decision to wear their hair the way it grows, there are a few things I would like you to consider: 1.    Learn about your hair – unlike processed hair, your hair will need...
